New Online Grants Clearinghouse
We have transitioned to our new grant application software, ZoomGrants, and will be using it for the 2016 Grants Clearinghouse. If you have not already created your account in ZoomGrants, please go ahead and start one now at www.cafiresafecouncil.org/zoomgrantslogin/.
Each organization submitting an application must have their own ZoomGrants account. If you are working with a Fiscal Sponsor, you must have a separate account if you are the sponsored organization.
